Academic Integrity 

Seneca upholds a learning community that values academic integrity, honesty, fairness, trust, respect, responsibility and courage. These values enhance Seneca's commitment to deliver high-quality education and teaching excellence, while supporting a positive learning environment. 

Ensure that you are aware of Seneca's Academic Integrity Policy which can be found at: http://www.senecacollege.ca/about/policies/ academic-integrity-policy.html 

Review section 2 of the policy for details regarding approaches to supporting integrity. Section 2.3 and Appendix B of the policy describe various sanctions that can be applied, if there is suspected academic misconduct (e.g., contract cheating, cheating, falsification, impersonation or plagiarism). 

Please visit the Academic Integrity website to understand and learn more about how to prepare and submit work so that it supports academic integrity, and to avoid academic misconduct. 

Accountability 

Students in the Bridging program are accountable for their own learning and for facilitating the learning of their peers. Students demonstrate accountability by: 

• Being truthful 

• Being consistently prepared 

• Seeking assistance when needed 

• Being on time 

• Giving prior notice of intended absences 

• Completing assigned tasks as negotiated 

• Informing the group of absences prior to meetings

• Supporting classmates and guests during presentations 

As RPN's licensed to practice in the province of Ontario, you are also accountable to the College of Nurses of Ontario for your professionalism, ethical standards and for following the CNO Code of Conduct.

• While you are working as a student RN in this program, you remain at all times accountable for care within the RPN scope of practice.
